627366 - Tab ordering doesn't track thumbnail ordering

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 616729

(Firefox Graveyard :: Panorama, defect)

Description

[Julian Seward [:jseward]]

Panorama is nearly-very-good, but there's one thing I find confusing
and annoying.

When I rearrange the order of thumbnails inside a tab group (in
Panorama view, obviously), the order of the tabs doesn't change in
normal view.

STR:
* enter Panorama view
* create new tab group box
* click on (nearly invisible) white + in bottom left hand corner to
  create a new tab
* (now in normal view, w/ one blank tab)
* click on + to get a second blank tab
* click on tab for first blank tab
* load www.gnome.org
* click on tab for the second tab
* load www.kde.org
* switch to panorama view.  Thumbnails are in the correct
  order (GNOME, then KDE)
* switch thumbnails around, so KDE precedes GNOME
* click on either thumbnail
* now back in normal view.  But the tab order is as original
  (GNOME on left, KDE on right)

If I rearrange my thumbnails, it's for a good reason, usually to make
tabs easier to find.  So I expect the tabs to follow suit.  Most of
all it's confusing -- makes me feel like my mental model of how the
user interface operates (in this respect) is missing some crucial
detail.
